I was going to suggest Craters & Freighters but if they're not there...
You might try searching for another pack and ship company that is in that area, I wouldn't want to shp Ground with one that big though, not even sure you can.
Freight, boxed and strapped to a Pallet is the way to go, it's going to cost dearly though.
If there's a UPS Store in the area he could drop it off at they might be able to arrange it.
Your other option is a 2700 mile road trip.
